BRCC Bits and Bites

I know what you're thinking. Did Mike Landry lose more hair? And is he really Sugar Bear on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"? Well no, that's not him. But this IS Sugar Bear from that lame television show. I just cannot fathom how such a show could become popular.  And I just know that Mike wouldn't be caught on such a lame show. He will be too busy curling at the BRCC....2 nights a week plus practices. Mike is going to be curling with yours truly, Dennis Roberts and Dan Horton in the Senior Mens this year. So, practice will certainly be necessary.

As I mentioned before, Haley Horton will have a competitive team for the Bantam Girls. I'm still waiting to hear if there will be any other competitive teams this year. It would be real nice to see a competitive ladies and/or senior ladies team coming out of the BRCC. Aaah, to dream.....

There was supposed to be curling tonight...a few scrimmage matches for the men but it turns out the plant has kicked out the past couple of nights. They are looking to correct this but the ice will NOT be ready for curling until Tuesday, Oct 9. That's when the Ladies League will kick off!

This is a really good cause folks. I'm going to blog about this one alot and remind you to get your cheque in for this spiel. And hey, even if you can't make it to play, I'm sure a donation to this Foundation would not go astray. Anything to do with the health of the community and its residents is a good cause and having good equipment can only benefit the people living in BR. So c'mon out and play in this worthwhile event. The people organizing and helping to run this event like Laurie Kendricks and Kathy Jensen are long time BRCC pals and need your support. Let's not let them down!

MORE CURLING INSTRUCTION: Unfortunately, the 2nd night of Curling Instruction was cancelled. However, Maymar and Al will be available to offer more instruction in November and some of December if you would like it. Please let Kristy know and perhaps a night could be assigned for you and others. If you are looking to improve your game, an evening with Al and/or Maymar would not go astray. They have coached many people over the years and have accomplished alot in our beloved sport so a free lesson from them is a total bonus.

Paid your membership yet? Now is the time. Get your membership paid as soon as possible. Pay it on your first night if need be but let someone know (preferably a board member) that you plan to pay your curling fees by start up night. I know the board will be ecstatic not to have to chase down outstanding membership dues.

Got curling-related news you want posted? Or perhaps a humorous curling story. How about some curling pictures. Email me  labcity007@hotmail.com and I'll get it posted for you.

Need equipment? The club has lots and it is quality stuff at good prices. And your purchase benefits the club.

Rock On!
